Advertising on NMPolitics.net is a great way to get your message out to a readership that consists largely of the politically active and educated — some of the hardest people to reach through traditional advertising methods. Thousands of people visit this site each day — many of them several times each day.

By advertising, you’ll be supporting a small, independent organization that is providing a needed forum absent from mainstream media in New Mexico.

You can choose the size of your advertisement from several options shown below. You can include text and images in your advertisement, which will be built to your design specifications and approved by you before its run begins, or you can submit a ready-made advertisement. If you have a Web site you want to promote, the advertisement can serve as a link to that site.

Standard advertisements must be in JPEG format and 72 dpi. Animated advertisements are available for an extra fee.

Standard advertisement sizes and prices are as follows:

468×60 ad (two available across the top of the page, one to the right of the NMPolitics.net logo)

• Across the top of the page: $210 for four weeks
• To the right of the NMPolitics.net logo: $230 for four weeks

Advertising rates can be pro-rated for a period of less than four weeks, but the minimum time that can be purchased is two weeks if NMPolitics.net builds the ad for you. If you provide the ad already built, the minimum that must be purchased is one day.

Adding animation to any ad costs an additional $35 per four weeks. This fee cannot be pro-rated to less than four weeks if NMPolitics.net builds the ad for you. If you provide the ad already built, the animation can be prorated to as little as half of the $35 fee.

Gross receipts tax will be added to your order at a rate of 7.4375 percent. All advertising orders must be prepaid with cash or a check.

Please be advised that purchasing advertising on NMPolitics.net gives you no control over editorial content. Like anyone else, you may raise concerns about the content of articles and comments, polls and other editorial items, and your concerns will be heard. NMPolitics.net encourages potential advertisers to familiarize themselves with the site’s editorial content prior to purchasing advertisements.

NMPolitics.net will attempt to honor but cannot guarantee placement requests beyond those specified above. Rates are subject to change at any time, but changes will not apply to orders for which payment has already been made.

NMPolitics.net reserves the right to refuse any advertisement found unsuitable for publication. If payment has already been made, it will be refunded.

If an advertiser opts to cancel after an ad’s run has begun, payment for that four-week cycle will not be refunded. Payment for the next four-week cycle will be refunded unless more than 21 days of the current four-week cycle have passed at the time of cancellation. With that exception, payment for future cycles will be refunded.

All cancellations must be requested in writing, and must be received by the above-described deadlines in order to obtain refunds. E-mail requests to heath@haussamen.com are sufficient.

By purchasing advertising, advertisers acknowledge that they have read these policies and agree that NMPolitics.net and its owner will not be liable or responsible for any damage, injury or loss that results from interaction and transactions between advertisers and those who read or click through from advertisements on this Web site to advertisers’ Web sites.
